A Ball of Moondust

“I am not hungry. I still have one more Pail to sort before calling it a day.” Amina stared at Kamil's gentle yet firm face. Then she grabbed a full pail of milk. The fat had already separated from the milk creating a floating mass on the surface of the Pail. Amina scooped some oil and greased her palms, then her jet-black and shiny hair. The barn suddenly became two shades brighter. “Yeah right!” Amina eyed the moon.

Cyber-Crayons

Arya ran like there was no tomorrow and got to the top of the building. The zipline was already under control by drones, she and Dante looked at each other with shock and it was clear they were ready to jump to the next building. They ran at full speed and jumped with one last breath. As they landed on the roof of the next building, Arya's leg broke. Cracking sound silenced the city for Arya.

Oh no, no, now we're burned!

The Life of a Crayon

One day, I was selected along with a team of other crayons to create a Mother's Day card. Working together, we rendered a beautiful portrait of a loving family. I helped capture the depth of the mother's affectionate eyes. It was the most realistic drawing I had ever been part of.

"We could be in museums!" I proclaimed to Red as we were stashed back in the box. "Don't get ahead of yourself, kid,"

The best makeup

Under a make-up of good person and excellent human being hides someone who is far from being exemplary, those words that she said to her own daughter are not said by a mother even to the worst child in the world, mothers always see the good side of their children. Fernanda tried to dissimulate and gave me a smile, she wanted to make it seem that nothing had happened there, but I know what I heard and it broke my heart to see the pain in Amanda's eyes.

My Dear Sunniva

"I am part of Sunniva's spirit and guardian of the painting. I am timeless, but I can experience suffering in this form. I protect the painting from darkness and oblivion. Victor has assigned me to work in a way to send energy to that moment when Sunniva died in that car crash. Victor infused this painting with a part of his sister's spirit because he loved her so much and was crushed when she died. What this painting does is alleviate the suffering of Sunniva in the past and give her a sense of happiness," Sunniva's spirit explained with a rational tone of voice. She was calm and collected but lack of energy was felt in her voice.

The Gardener's Court was as large as it had been rumored to be. It was not much of a sight to behold with its boring outlook and blurry window panes. It seemed like whoever built the place had removed a cardboard drawing and placed it on a large expanse of land because there was barely any artistic prowess in sight.

Doris walked behind Lady Shirley so she could swing her head to the left to see girls barely older than herself hand-picking grasses in the field and then to the right so she could watch the young men whose age she couldn't guess, milk the cows. When they got to the large iron door, Lady Shirley struck the large handle on the front and the door swung open before the third strike.
